National Night of Prayer

The Annual National Night of Prayer for Life begins at 9:00PM on Friday, Dec. 8 and ends at 1:00AM on Saturday, Dec. 9, and we here at St. Helena will be taking part in it, and we invite you to come to the church and spend at least 30 minutes in prayer before Our Blessed Lord. During the Hour of Unity from 12AM - 1AM, we will be united with churches across the country in prayer. It was on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception (then celebrated on Dec 9) that Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the unborn and of the Americas, first appeared to St. Juan Diego. The National Night of Prayer for Life bridges these two feasts to honor Our Blessed Mother and to pray for the Lord’s mercy and restore life, liberty, faith, and peace.
